Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Come on, Lumapel Nelson, andthis is French class. It' s
easy to be be ben saba.Today we are going to do the 15th
class of French, the series ofFrench courses. Basic. Even the subject
of this class is going to bethe prepositions of the place related to cities

(00:24):
and countries. We will deal withthe prepositions of the place with respect to
countries, to provincial cities. Let' s see it at the basic level.
We' re not going to gothat deep into every detail. But
maybe some observations. As this onegave the explanations, because I know that
sometimes that confusion lends itself and manytimes one wonders why I have to use

(00:46):
this preposition with this country and withthis other country I have used another preposition
and why? What' s thelogic? No, then I' m
not going to talk about every countryor every city. I' m not
making a list. I think youcan find that information in many places.
What I' m going to giveyou is the key, the logic.
Let' s say the tricks sothey understand and make fewer mistakes or do

(01:11):
not make any mistakes. Then let' s get started. In French,
the preposition used for cities is oftendifferent from those used for countries and for
certain provinces of countries or States ofcountries. There are countries that have unique

(01:34):
names, there are countries that haveplug names, like the United States.
In French, les tasuni is nowa plural country, unlike Spanish, where
many countries have an optional article,such as Argentina. You can say Argentina
or Argentina, or Peru or Peru. In French, all countries have an

(02:04):
article, that is to say,that every country in the world is male
or female and depending on whether itis male or female, it will use
a preposition as the case may be, very well, then we will start
first with cities and for cities itwill be using the preposition. Usually to
par excellence that with the accent gravelacunground flipped that occurs the same as that

(02:29):
of the verb to guix to theone produced exactly the same that grave aixon
does not change at all the pronunciation, so you always have to use it
and not forget it. It's visually makes the difference when it comes
to doing the reading then let's make an example. For example,

(02:51):
Parry or the capital dunath Homes,France, is female live hones. We
can say, for example, moreu Mari Marie e Aparry, but it
is called the Lison mary Eta foranother city Rome Fransois and Aroma Ufonso and

(03:22):
so now if we want to saythat, we are talking about a preposition
of the place. But if wewanted to say that someone is from that
city, no. For example,I can say I' m from Lima.
I am from Lima, the capitalcity of Peru. You' re
Dulima. I am Duberry jusey Paricia, resident of Paris, is called Patricia

(03:46):
or jus was Duke meca keback theCanadian province and look as I say Jussu
ju Quebec and the contraction of dMás lue du Mas and let' s
say what could be equivalent to theSpanish of him You Shut youke Bak?

(04:06):
Why? And why? Because Quebecis Luke Beck, so I' m
his. Which Beck would be Jussu, Juke Beck or javit ok Be.
Here we go to Ahorita, weare going to enter the provinces that Beck
is a country, is a provinceof Canada, but many provinces are treated

(04:30):
mostly as if they were countries notat the time of not always, but
mostly. Then we continue with otherexamples. You Sui Zaparry, You Switzerland
Romo You Switzerland Berland, berla Ais not Berlin. Berland dreamed of a
youssuiza Tokyo salla or Yousu from Tokyoand I am Japanese Japanese, Yussi from

(04:58):
Moscow' s Youshi tuk. Sowe' re seeing that difference from the
preposition we use to say that I' m in a city or I'
m from a city. So we' re seeing the percussion ah for the
city I' m Zapar. Weuse the preposition durs and I want to

(05:18):
talk about my belonging to that city. Jusu du Paru. Good d good
airs in Prancés, because phonetic issuesoccur. Good morning, good morning.
So now we are talking about countriesthat are rather confused, because we have
to use two types of prepositions,one for women' s countries and the

(05:45):
other for men' s countries.Not then do you get this idea,
because sometimes you don' t knowwhy you do it not the male countries.
Remember I was telling you that countriesin French always have an article,
always an article. La lue Ule plural, tase les homes. In

(06:10):
this case of routines they look likethis writing and apostrophe is simply a luber
contraction Rezilla lupero Luchile, la colombeb la bolivi lui bresillas. So let
' s see, let' sstart then how what preposition should always be

(06:32):
used for singular male countries. Forexample, a male country is U Peru,
then perru it but it is male. So when I want to say
that I' m in Peru andor you see if I' m going
to say jussez or perru because operuis a preposition, which is a contraction

(07:00):
of AA comicson grave a lu alu A. Luis contracts and turns or
that even happens in pronunciation to moreit gets together sounds or one or closed.
I am sopru Jusu Sochini, Jessuare Shilley because or Chile, when

(07:24):
they say why because I know LuishiLushilli is male. Chile is a male
country. Pacontt Lapsuntin femenine, thewomen' s Colombia, Bolivia are women
' s countries. So how dowe see that the preposition should be used

(07:46):
by the female countries on is notenga is either sound or coman on on
an B are colon b h oradjontin and look at how there is n
therefore vowel. You could make asmooth on antina and the sound be born

(08:11):
practically a little bit, like youlose on aponten the n when you join
with the ava to sound n.Then you always record this idea. The
country is not male, female andusually coincides with Spanish. I mean,
it' s not gonna be toocomplicated. You go this idea that if
the country is male it is luveand the preposition is or and if the

(08:33):
country is female it is with.Now what do we do if we have
countries like the United States, whichis a plural country, because it has
many states, the United States givesit an Améxica America. So let'
s use the preposition to IX,which is also pronounced or to O.

(09:01):
And that X doesn' t sound, unless we make it smooth if the
next word, in this country caseand tas Gine is a vowel. So,
if I say ju Swi and lookI' m already doing alien j
swis to join Tase' s o. That X is going to ring.

(09:28):
But Nelson, how so is anX why it' s going to sound.
Well, the X is similar tothe Spanish. Ha X has a
variable sound. It can' tsound, it can sound or both at
once. So, in this case, something like this X looks like it
' s a s. Then jesustwo or z Tase will sound like the

(09:54):
old lady. Now we have acertain province, its certain territories, which
has a natural name like contra Antilla, lesantia. The hooks. In France
it is called Lessantier to two islandsthat belong to the tamar departments of Partamont

(10:16):
Dutremer. They' re called PathmontDutremar. These two islands are called antilla.
There are other islands, not onlybelonging to Franklin, in Holland and
England, but par excellence Lessantier inFrench. These two islands are called the
female Guadeloupe, the most tunic thetwo together is called the lesantilla. And

(10:43):
if we go down below those threesmall countries that you know are next to
Venezuela and above Brazil, you willsee that there the g G as they
had written to dru Yan the femaleGreean HONSSS. Since it' s feminine,

(11:03):
it' s going to say ifyou' re there you' re
going to jussuis Ong or guan fondés. I am are giants moses or jus
suizeld Ontius or wathalipe A, whyon Widelin, since guardian femina, I
am also female mastinic and as Isaid, the departments, the provinces are

(11:28):
used these prepositions for place very well. There' s a whole list of
city countries. You don' tneed to explain them all and you can
find them find them and practice them. Practice if you have any doubts about
